The Ostruck
Since I'm too busy watching Lost to write anything for my dear readers (yeah, I'm a bitch like that), I figured I would post Chicken's paper on the Ostruck. The Ostruck is a fictional animal that Chicken made up for his animal adaptations report. He had to draw a picture to accompany the paper, and he gives a speech tomorrow. I think it looks angry. Like "why the fuck do I have a poodle tail, yo?" Ozzie also says "For the love of all things holy, please cut my bangs. Please."
There I was in the desert plains of Africa. Even though it was hard to hide in the baking heat and little rain, I was looking for a new species. Suddenly a large figure came speeding right through my base camp. At the time I was sitting in my tent reading my book but I still heard something outside. So I jumped in my jeep and sped off. All of a sudden there it was, the new species I was looking for. It was about 5’ tall.
It had dragon wings, a poodle’s tail, ostrich’s legs, feet, and eyes, a ducks head, an umbrella bird’s umbrella, a quail’s call, and peacock feathers coming from the poodle tail. Luckily I was able to capture and study it and quickly found it could easily soar the skies.
The umbrella had two stripes on it and had hundreds of hairs with bristles on them to stick leaves. What they would do was make the hairs touch leaves and with their long beaks, eat the leaves that are stuck to the hairs. The leaves mainly come from acacia trees. Even though no animal dares attack it, ostrucks still have a plain diet of acacia leaves.
Amazingly the natives locally had already known about them! So they gave me a male well trained enough to ride! Then I realized then that my first one was a girl so I put them together and they had 5 eggs. I also found it lives by its self, during the day, and out in the open. During the winter it continues its normal life because it never gets cold in the winter.
Well, that is all I have discovered about the ostrucks and I hope I am able to learn more about this wonderful bird.
This is how Dude feels about Lost and having the camera stuck right in his face when he is trying to nap on me. What he really wants is some Gus Greeper.

Love it! I now know I look like an ostruck in the morning. Poodle tail and hair umbrella and all.
*round of applause for Chicken*
This book slut is impressed.
Please tell me that I somehow inspired him for the name...
I LOVE the Ostruck and Chicken's great imagination!!! Dude looks a bit pissy, but also adorable. I would probably look like that too if I was trying to nap and I got a camera in my face!! LOL!!
Great story! I think Chicken learned some writing skills from his mama.
they are both very handsome kitties :o)
and gus is REALLY in need of an online afair.
i thought lost was going to be a total filler last night but it still gave a lot. i enjoyed it.
that story by chicken is awesome. i LOVE the 5 eggs part the best :)
people are looking at me right now because i am laughing about your bangs comment. i can always rely on this blog for a good laugh.
seriously, this time i mean it--I LOL'd. again, because i just looked at the drawing again. hee hee hee...
your kid is so creative. if i had that assignment, i would have just copied the platypus or something dumb like that. then i would have played it off like it was "new" by giving it a dumb name like "furduck" or something. i would be the kid whose teacher says, "but that animal already exists, you moron. you need to repeat this grade, i think." i love that he has incorporated seven species--one of which is mythological-- into one animal, and yet the animal's name is still pronounceable (sp?). i also love that he used the phrase "base camp." and that all he had to do to discover a new species was jump in his jeep and drive to it. so cute! and what 5th grader has even heard of acacia leaves? i am 27 and i don't know what they are. more evidence of the fact that your kid is very cool and very smart. AND he can draw. because i can't draw an ostruck. i tried.
and your cat looks soft. i wanna pet him. and i don't like cats. so that's really saying something.
I love the world!! :)
